I&#39;m one of those &quot;over 60&quot; guys. Since COVID I&#39;ve been sw=
amped with work and don&#39;t do much computing other than bioinformatics a=
nd statistics. Still have my old Coco3 modified with a 3.5&quot; floppy and=
 a hard drive with keyboard adapter, But it hasn&#39;t been powered on for =
more than a decade. I&#39;ve tried the emulators but I can&#39;t seem to ge=
t a virtual OS-9 Level II disk that functions, so not much from me. I still=
 have the Quick Pascal API that I developed many years ago but really haven=
&#39;t done anything to update it.<br>
